@neguse.house.gov: "I think it is outrageous for these Republican senators to effectively guarantee themselves million-dollar paydays, a provision in this bill that very clearly applies to them. ... This is insanity to allow this provision to go forward"

🚨BREAKING: At long last, Mike Johnson will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4 pm ET.

Whoaaaaa

A tweet from J.J. Abbott (@jjabbott) says: “Narrator: He did not fight.” It quotes a 2022 tweet from John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) that reads: “Health care is a basic, fundamental human right. I will fight for health care like the health care that saved my life. #PASenateDebate.”

In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

So inflation and cost of living has been going up every month since this administration took over…this administration that promised it would all come down on day 1?

Now it’s because of the previous administration?

The one that had nothing to do with tariffing the entire planet?

Makes sense.

Exactly right. Why should we respect a president who doesn’t respect the constitution he swore an oath to uphold?

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

🗣️Where are the #Epstein files?

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal. Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. For months, I’ve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news. Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Republicans Made This Mess — Democrats Just Cleaned It Up for Them While Republicans partied at Mar-a-Lago and cashed shutdown paychecks, Democrats gave them an escape hatch.

The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats.

Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks.

Polls were turning on them.

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

If a leader cannot unify his own caucus, why is he still a leader?

Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:

⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen

Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Congrats, Senate Dems.

You just squandered all the momentum from last week.

Fucking incredible job.

Regarding Democrat Senators who caved
Agree with you Governor 💯

Dear @kaine.senate.gov Resign.

Don't vote and then resign - RESIGN NOW.

You are no longer a Democrat

It should be that simple.

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.

They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.

Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

DO NOT CAVE!
